I love the idea of drug testing welfare recipients. Unfortunately, in states that have implemented this, they haven't really saved any money due to the smaller than expected number of people that test positive, and the expensive nature of drug testing.
The solution is to have people pay for the drug testing themselves. However, that creates a financial burden for those who are actually in need that they may not be able to afford in the first place.
